I'm lucky to live close to a site with what appears to be a very healthy population of Tree Sparrows. They've lovely little birds with lots of character.
Always love to see shots of these spugs - a very nice & clean shot, & I like the branch anchored into the bottom corner.

Wonderful shot Matt. I used to get these in the garden 15 years ago, but no more. I really miss them, nice to see such a detailed shot and as John says the colour is spot on. Happy Christmas Matt and maybe we'll get another day out this year sometime? Eric

Lovely bird and b/g but the bird is possibly a bit large and dominates the image.
